Xenon flurides are very good oxidisng and fluorinating agents. They also act as F^(-) donors and acceptors. When XeF_(4) donates its fluoride to SbF_(5) , then the states of hybridisation of central atom of cationic part ad anionic part of product are:

Which one of the following reducing agents can also act as an oxidizing agent ?

Lanthanoids in +4 oxidation state act as good oxidising agents.

Assertion (A): O_(3) can act as an oxidising agent as wll as a reducing agent, but SO_(2) can act only as an oxidant. Reason (R ): The oxidation number of O in O_(3) is zero, and the oxidiation number of S in SO_(2) is +4 .
